Details

The operational programme explains:

• how the European Social Fund (ESF) will deal with labour market issues
• the employment and skills activities it will support

We conducted a public consultation on the draft programme in 2006 and the European Commission agreed the programme on 9 August 2007.

We amended the programme in 2011 to:

• move €31.7 million from priority 3 (technical assistance) to priority 1 (extending employment opportunities)
• move €11.7 million from priority 3 to priority 2 (developing a skilled and adaptable workforce)
• take account of the closure of the regional Government Office network and ESF committees in most regions

The European Commission agreed the amended programme on 12 December 2011.
